MOSQUITOES AND TONY BLAIR
|
MOSQUITOES AND TONY BLAIR  Above is Alastair Adams’ portrait of Tony Blair. It’s quite good! What’s your view of Tony Blair? My view, and it keeps changing, is that Tony Blair was a fantastic domestic politician but an awful international politician. But Blair’s era, like Clinton’s era, seems so distant now. They did not bequeath a better world. An opportunity lost. I’m not even going to dwell on Tony Blair's relationship with George W Bush because that will just get me very angry! If you see terrorists as mosquitoes, then, a 'war on terror' will never be won by killing them when there are swamps for mosquitoes to thrive on. "Drain the swamp and there will be no more mosquitoes”, so wrote Noam Chomsky after 9/11. "If we insist on creating more swamps, there will be more mosquitoes, with awesome capacity for destruction. If we devote our resources to draining the swamps, addressing the roots of the 'campaigns of hatred', we can not only reduce the threats we face but also live up to ideals that we profess and that are not beyond reach if we choose to take them seriously." Do you get bitten by mosquitoes? Do you ever think about your legacy? I’ve never been bitten by mosquitoes. As I get older, I think more about what I’ve done with my life. And, as I have no , I wonder even more what I’ve done with my life. Perhaps my blog will be my legacy! That’s a worrying thought.  |

I am rarely an attractant for mosquitoes...maybe I have bad blood or something! I do notice they are drawn to the wife...she must smell better than I do!

Tony Blair. It's hard to see him as anything but Bush's poodle. He made an awful mistake sucking up to a fucking moron. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

It is also difficult to drain the swamp when you are up to your ass in alligators What’s your view of Tony Blair? Frankly I don't know, from my perspective he seemed to be a good guy Do you get bitten by mosquitoes? Frequently, I think they are the New Jersey state bird  Do you ever think about your legacy? Interesting you ask. I went to a Christmas party of my former Military unit. I was frankly quite proud of some of my former subordinates. They have matured to be great leaders. When I talked to their subordinates (that I had never served with), they were well liked and were given compliments. If my participation in their mentoring is part of my legacy, I am a proud man.

1. Contradictory. He's a contradiction. A compassionate man who was complicit in the deaths of hundreds of thousands un-necessarily. A socially responsible capitalist who extended the monetarist philosophy to the point wher world banking almost collapsed. A man of integrity who sold out. I have a love/hate relationship with the man. 2. Mosquitoes seem to have a particular liking for my blood. 3. Sometimes. In the circumstances, isn't your single most important legacy the education, experience and guidance you give to young folks? I'd be delighted to have that, both the opportunity and the outcomes.

Tony Blair. It's hard to see him as anything but Bush's poodle. He made an awful mistake sucking up to a fucking moron. I liked Blair before he became Bush's poodle. I thought he was quite refreshing after Margaret Thatcher and John Majors. I remember when my son and I went camping at Acadia National Park in Maine. We sprayed mosquito repellent and it seemed to ATTRACT them! That's when we found they were actually the state bird there and make the ones in New Jersey seem more like wannabees. I see my legacy in my sons and grandchildren, although I hopefully still have time to try to do my small part to make this world a little better place.

Quoting MovingOn001: "Please quit complimenting Bush and insulting morons! I liked Blair before he became Bush's poodle. I thought he was quite refreshing after Margaret Thatcher and John Majors." I concur. It was excessive. And I liked Blair too before he became such a hopeless sycophant. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

I know nothing about tony blair. mosquitos love me I get bite quite often. Since my stroke I think about my legacy quite often. 4  if love isn't the answer, than I misunderstood the question

Mosquitoes? and my legacy? my I don't really know how to respond. Do you get bitten by mosquitoes? All the time, so much, it is ridiculous. Especially in VA and I started to become house bound because of them. I couldn't even be outside for five minutes without getting biten. Do you really have mosquitoes in the UK? I have never been bitten here and only rarely in NJ. Do you ever think about your legacy? Not really. I haven't done much at all with my life. My daughter and grandchildren are my legacy. Maybe we will do something great with what remains of our lives, we might just be late bloomers, or maybe we expect too much. Maybe just being good people is enough. A part of the "warp and weft", intertwined, doing our part, such as it is, leaving a hole, being missed if we were gone... Don't think so much...

Tony Blair. It's hard to see him as anything but Bush's poodle. He made an awful mistake sucking up to a fucking moron. He's now being caught up with the torture and rendition scandal in wake of the recent Congressional inquiry of the CIA's role. On the plus side, Blair played a key role in securing a peace deal in Northern Ireland, oversaw a massive investment of funds into public services and presided over a booming economy - he got out just before the crash.

I have no feelings either way about Tony Blair but I am coming to think that Prime Ministers called Tony are a very bad choice for everybody. I have been bitten by mosquitoes but not since I use insect repellant. I am anxious to leave my dream home as my legacy but in order to do that, it has to become a 3-dimensional reality. I wonder what the likelihood of me ever having the approximately 12 million dollars to build it is. It will be a monument to fusion architecture. I look forward to the unveiling of your architectural masterpiece.

Tony Blair's portrait is one of the best portraits I've come across. I think everyone gets lost in the trees and not see the wood they're in.

Being a good father and a great friend is a fantastic legacy to leave behind.

That's a great legacy to leave behind!

Presumably that a Swedish mosquito that did made that 'cock-bite'!

Gordon Brown's claim of boom without bust was pure hubris. One of the problems for left-wing parties is that they have to secure right-wing support to get into power. I'm using the term left-wing very loosely in the case of the Labour Party!

I think Australian politics' Tony could destroy our society if the treasurer and finance minister aren't replaced by people with a more humanitarian fiscal plan that creates employment for young people, not punishes them that there are not enough entry-level jobs to go around. My masterpiece, if I ever have the means, can acquire the ideal parcel of land (with harbour views, which will account for at least 5 million dollars of the total cost), and I can get council approval sprawls over 60 feet front to back and side to side, contains 27 rooms, many are extra oversized and is 4 tall levels high with the entrance level having 12 foot high ceilings and a massive 22'6" x 22'6" x 25' high entry foyer with a large, open wraparound balcony that views over the foyer from the suites (bedrooms with luxe ensuite bathrooms). The bedroom level has 10' ceilings and built-in robes, all suites have balconies and fully lockable doors. There is a basement level that has the luxury of a home gym, parking for 6 cars, a generously proportioned home cinema, music room, 2 large storerooms, and the roofspace above the suites is a massive 40' x 40' attic with dormers. It is feng shui compliant throughout, has the latest in environmental considerations (solar panels etc... ) and there is a huge swimming pool doen the terraced back yard towards the harbour there is a tennis court and under the tennis court is a sumptuous private apartment with a large private lawn and harbour views. In the front yard, there is a large three tier fountain surrounded with 3 sandstone bonquettes and beautifully manicured gardens and a large teardrop shaped driveway that passes by the double front door. I know how excessive it sounds but I plan to have the place as a private international guest house for friends by invitation only and it is my heartfelt dream that since so many of my Affairlook friends are keen to come to australia as well as meet me, I thought why not try to arrange a time when several could come and stay at the same time in any of the 5 suites that I don't use as my own private one? WildBill and you could potentially visit at the same time and we could invite one of the lovely lady bloggers to stay at the same time. I would be ecstatic to have you two and possibly one or two other guests as my first after this architectural wonder is completed.

I would be immensely honoured to have you stay at my guest house/dream home.

A nice fact about my exclusive guest house to international guests/dream home is that if I sell it during my lifetime, I will be giving half of the money to a charity for homeless people and if I die before then, it will be in my will that the entire cash yield of the sale goes to a charity for homeless people. That will be my real legacy.

I'm quite astonished and puzzled by such a suggestion, dear S... I would use the money to relocate to a new country of residence and buy another comfortable home. My first choice would be England, second choice would be Canada and third choice would be either the USA, somewhere in Scandinavia or France but to be really certain, I would need to do more travel. Because of some of the suffering I have experienced in using this site, some that could have been minimised (if they cared to) and the continuous glitches, this site can rot in hell. Scandinavia is very expensive to live in - high taxes.
